National Beer Day is not just another day in which we honor a random food or beverage. April 7th marks the anniversary of the Cullen-Harrison Act of 1933, which provided the first legal sales of beer since Prohibition began with the Volstead Act in 1919. Thirsty throngs across the nation were waiting for the clock to strike midnight, to enjoy the cold, low-ABV suds (around 4%) as well as wine.

It was only 8 months later that Repeal Day would come, and the booze could flow freely once again. We all know FDR was a generous guy, and we can add the signing of the Cullen-Harrison Act on March 22, 1933 to his list of commendable achievements. Legend has it, upon signing, he said, “I think this would be a good time for a beer.”

Tomorrow, you can pour one out for FDR and any other Ex-President you may be fond of, and raise a pint to one the finest beverages known to mankind: beer! Here are a handful of places to celebrate:
